If you could talk to your high school self (color, blonde, highlights)

Stand up straight, and smile more. Don't walk around like a sad sack.


And good grief girl! Brush your hair once in a while!

I would tell myself:

1) to appreciate my body. I was a size 2, and thought my thighs were too muscular and thought I had a belly pooch . What I wouldn’t give to have that pooch instead of the sagging one I have now.

2) your dark skin glows and it is beautiful

3) stop using relaxers, no matter what anyone says or how they treat you because of your natural hair. Just keep your hair clean and moisturizer and it will be beautiful.

Isn't that funny? In the 70's (don't know what decade you're referring to) you were considered to have ugly hair. No matter how fabulously beautiful it was.

I ironed mine.

I would have told myself to be nicer to girls/women, less partying and to stay fit. Oh, and do better in school and get a degree. Although the degree thing wasn't an issue until 30 years into a career. And one more time, stay fit.

I would have told myself to stick it out, because about the time I graduated from college, pleated pants would come back in style and I would never have to wear too-tight pants without room for my boys again.

"...grooming tips..."

1. high and tight.
2. long sleeves.
3. no cologne.

[Kayekaye]

No style tips, had that down pat. But a load of other stuff!

[ben young]

I would say. You have made all the right decisions except you never learned the piano.

[hertfordshire]

Grooming tips, people. It's a fashion and beauty forum. LOL

Don’t think that fitting in is the key. And don’t think that trying so hard to attract girls is a thing. I’d praise myself for not wanting to over-modify my car, though.
